This announcement came a week later The Internet has become horny for ElizaOSfollowing a sex toy that integrates an AI agent into its product. known as OrifThe product translates push and input measurements into readable messages and ElizaOS responds.

However, the creators explained that the Eliza robot should not be used for sex at all.

“Eliza fosters meaningful, human companionship without crossing over into sexual territory.” Ava explained, “To prevent abuse, the hardware and software are configured with security measures that make it difficult to use the robot for unintended purposes.”
